Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spindle or worm drive for adjustment devices in motor vehicles, more particularly for seat adjustment devices, window lifters and sliding roofs.
  • a spindle drive for adjustment devices in motor vehicles having a fixed spindle which is fixed on a first of two relatively rotatable parts, a gearing mechanism which is mounted on the second of the relatively rotatable parts, and a gear housing for accommodating the gearing.
  • the gear housing consists of two housing plates which are fixed against each other by means of push-fit connections and which are designed as supporting connecting points where the housing plates are held together and which take up the gear forces.
  • the push-fit connections have raised zones and recesses which fit into each other and initially form a play-fit.
  • the housing plates are fixed by plastically deforming the material in the region of the push-fit connections.
  • a spindle drive for a seat longitudinal adjuster in motor vehicles which contains a spindle which is connected to the adjusting rail of the seat longitudinal adjuster and which can be driven through an electric motor by a spindle nut, worm wheel and a worm connected to a motor shaft.
  • the worm, the worm wheel and the spindle nut are mounted in a retaining clip having two cylindrical sleeves which intersect at right angles.
  • a retaining flange which is connected to the base rail of the seat longitudinal adjuster and consists of a clip with a rectangular window-shaped opening surrounds the cylindrical sleeves of the retaining clip through the frame of the window-shaped opening, and thus secures the position of the retaining clip.
  • a further drawback of the known spindle drives is that the retaining flange does indeed secure the position of the retaining clip but offers no security in the event of a crash since the retaining flange only surrounds a part of the retaining clip and in the event of a crash is bent so that the coupling between the movable adjusting rail and the base rail fixed on the body is released and thus a vehicle seat connected to the adjusting rail will move uncontrollably.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a spindle or worm drive for adjustment devices in motor vehicles of the type already described which guarantees a play-free bearing of the gear elements protected against dirt, a crash-safe connection of the gearing mechanism and thus of the adjustment device as well as a bearing of the gearing mechanism which is able to pivot when necessary about at least one axis.
  • the solution according to the invention provides a play-free bearing of the gearing elements protected against dirt as well as a crash-safe support of the gearing mechanism and thus of the relatively movable parts of the adjustment device as well as a pivotal action of the gearing mechanism for connecting adjustment parts which are able to pivot about an axis.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of arranging the gear elements in a gear housing surrounding the gear elements in the form of a capsule protected against dirt and damage and of arranging the gear housing in turn free from backlash and where necessary able to pivot about at least one axis in a bearing shell which is designed and intended to take up the crash forces and thus to ensure a crash-safe support of the gear mechanism so that the relatively movable parts of the adjustment device also remain connected together even in the event of a crash.
  • the gearing housing preferably consists of plastics while the bearing shell is made from a material, more particularly a metal material, which is suitable for absorbing crash forces.
  • a material more particularly a metal material, which is suitable for absorbing crash forces.
  • the ability of the gear housing to pivot about an axis, for example about a pivotal axis running perpendicular to the spindle or toothed rack is preferably achieved through a concave or convex housing part of the gear housing and a convex or concave bearing shell section which surrounds the concave or convex housing part.
  • the bearing shell is made in two parts; namely the bearing shell consists of two bearing plates which can be fitted into each other and which can be connected together after the gear housing has been fitted and which can be fixed on the second of the two parts which are adjustable relative to each other.
  • bearing shell from two bearing plates which can be fitted into each other means that it is easy to fit the bearing shell free from backlash on the gear housing since the bearing plates can be placed around the gear housing, pushed together to zero tolerance and then connected together in this position, for example, by laser welding.
  • the preferably U-shaped bearing plates can be fitted together engaging in each other by means of the side arms in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the spindle or toothed rack whereby the connecting arms between the side arms have through openings for passing through the spindle or toothed rack, adjoined on each side by the concave or convex bearing shell sections which correspond with the convex or concave housing parts of the gear housing.
  • This design combines the rotational movement of the gear mechanism inside the bearing shell formed by the bearing plates with a clearance-free connection between the gear housing and the bearing shell with integrated guide of the spindle or toothed rack.
  • the side arms of the one bearing plate are preferably formed as tabs which engage in the other bearing plate in the one side arm provided with a window-shaped opening and the other side arm provided with a U-shaped recess.
  • the tab-shaped side arm of the one bearing plate is longer in the connecting direction of the bearing plates than the window-shaped opening of the other bearing plate, and the tab-shaped side arm of the one bearing plate is shorter than the U-shaped recess of the side arm of the other bearing plate whereby the tab-shaped side arm of the one bearing plate can be fitted in the connecting direction of the bearing plates through a cut-out section in the connecting arm of the other bearing plate which widens out the window-shaped opening of the corresponding side arm of the other bearing plate.
  • the fixing points provided at the front ends of the tab shaped side arm in the connecting direction, and the frame surrounding the window-shaped opening are freely accessible for attaching the spindle or worm gearing on one of the two parts which are movable relative to each other.
  • the side arms of the bearing plates are positively connected together in the assembled state of the adjustment device, more particularly through welding contours.
  • the bearing shell is designed in four parts and consists of four bearing plates; where basically the bearing shell has a base plate, two side plates and a top plate, wherein the base plate and the top plate run substantially parallel to each other and are held spaced apart yet connected together through the two side plates which are mounted substantially parallel to each other.
  • the base plate optionally has two slot like openings of which one serves to hold a fixing tab of one of the two side plates and the other opening serves to hold the fixing tab of the other of the two side plates.
  • the one side plate can thereby advantageously have a further fixing tab which is mounted on a side of the side plate opposite the one fixing tab and engages in a recess in the edge of the top plate.
  • the through openings in the side plates as well as the concave or convex bearing shell sections can thereby be arranged relative to each other so that the concave and convex bearing shell sections are arranged on each side of the through openings for passing through the spindle or toothed rack.
  • the base plate, the two side plates and the top plate have been aligned relative to each other and the freedom from backlash between the gear housing and bearing shell is ensured, the base plate, the two side plates and the top plate can be welded together for fixing.
  • laser welding is regarded as advantageous for fixing purposes.
  • the welded seams for connecting the bearing plates should thereby lie in grooves which are formed in the connecting regions between the bearing plates which stand on one another.
  • An advantageous method for manufacturing the spindle and/or worm drive according to the invention includes the gearing elements after their connection with the spindle or toothed rack being inserted into a housing shell of the gear housing and being connected to a drive element of the motor shaft so that a gearing cover is connected to the housing shell of the gear housing to close up the gear mechanism and the finished made gear housing being enclosed free from backlash by a bearing shell.
  • this can advantageously be fitted so that the bearing plates are pushed from both sides through the full-length openings onto the spindle, so that the side arms of the bearing plates are pushed into each other until the concave or convex bearing shell sections of the bearing plates adjoin without play against the concave and convex housing parts of the gear housing, and so that the abutting side edges of the side arms of the bearing plates are connected together by laser welding, at least over a part of their length.
  • the one end of the spindle can then be connected to a connecting tab which is fixed on the first of the two relatively rotatable parts and the interconnecting bearing plates can be connected to the second of the relatively rotatable parts.
  • the two side plates can advantageously be fitted from both sides through window-shaped full-length openings onto the spindle and then aligned until the concave and convex bearing shell sections of the side plates bear without play against the concave and convex housing parts of the gear housing.
  • Fixing the four bearing plates can advantageously be carried out by welding, more particularly laser welding.
  • the join In order to avoid “through welding” when laser welding, the join should be “butt” welded, thus welded at an obtuse angle. Laser welding should thereby be carried out in the grooved areas or in the grooves which are formed in the connecting region of the adjoining bearing plates. It is recommended in this connection if the laser welding is carried out at an angle of about 45° to the bearing plates which are to be connected.

  • the spindle drive which is shown in exploded views in FIGS. 1 to 3 has an electric motor 1 whose motor shaft 2 is connected to a drive worm 20 which meshes with a worm wheel 9 of a gear mechanism 3 .
  • the worm wheel 9 is connected to a spindle nut 8 whose thread meshes with the thread of a spindle 7 . Any rotation of the motor shaft 2 is transferred through the drive worm 20 to the worm wheel 9 and thus to the spindle nut 8 which is connected in one piece to the worm wheel 9 so that when the spindle 7 is mounted rotationally secured it changes its position in relation to the motor shaft 2 through the rotation of the spindle nut 8 , i.e. is moved in the direction S 1 or S 2 in relation to the motor shaft 2 according to FIG. 2 depending on the direction of rotation of the electric motor 1 .
  • the gear elements, drive worm 20 , spindle 8 and worm wheel 9 are combined into the gear mechanism 3 which has a gear housing 4 which consists of a housing shell 40 and a housing cover 41 which after inserting the gear elements 8 , 9 , 20 into the housing shell 40 is connected to the housing shell 40 .
  • Two U-shaped bearing plates 5 , 6 are fitted onto the ends of the spindle 7 projecting out from the gear housing 4 , wherein the side arms 52 , 53 and 62 , 63 of these bearing plates are aligned opposite one another and their connecting arms 51 , 61 which connect the side arms 52 , 53 and 62 , 63 together have window-shaped through openings 55 , 65 for receiving the spindle 7 .
  • the side arms 52 , 53 , and 62 , 63 are thus designed so that they can engage in each other with slight play and thereby produce a positive connection which has a certain play.
  • the one bearing plate 5 has two side arms 52 , 53 designed as tabs, while the one side arm 62 of the other bearing plate 6 has a rectangular window-shaped opening 66 while the other side arm 63 is designed U or clip-like and has a corresponding recess 67 .
  • the tab-shaped side arms 52 , 53 of the one bearing plate 5 substantially fill out the window shaped opening 66 or the recess 67 of the side arms 62 , 63 of the other bearing plate 6 .
  • either the tab-shaped side arms 52 , 53 of the one bearing plate 5 in the joining direction of the bearing plates 5 , 6 are either slightly shorter than the length of the window-shaped opening 66 or recess 67 of the side arms 62 , 63 of the other bearing plate 6 , or the tab-shaped side arm 52 of the one bearing plate is longer than the window-shaped opening 66 of the side arm 62 on the other bearing plate 6 and in the connecting direction of the bearing plates 5 , 6 can be fitted through a cut out section 68 in the connecting arm 61 of the other bearing plate 6 which widens out the window shaped opening 66 of the corresponding side arm 62 of the other bearing plate 6 so that the tab shaped side arm 52 of the bearing plate 5 can project through the window shaped opening 66 and thus through the connecting arm 61 of the other bearing plate 6 , or the frame of the side arm 62 surrounding the window shaped opening 66 over the connecting arm 51 of the bearing plate 5 , as can be seen from the illustration in FIG.
  • the connecting arms 51 , 61 have in relation to the gear housing 4 concave curvatures 54 , 64 which correspond to convex housing sections 42 , 43 of the gear housing 4 , i.e. the housing shell 40 and the housing cover 41 .
  • the curvatures 42 , 43 of the gear housing 4 and the curvatures 54 , 64 of the connecting arms 51 , 61 correspond with each other so that the gear mechanism 3 can swivel inside the bearing shell formed from the bearing plates 5 , 6 about an axis running parallel to the motor shaft 2 and thus can compensate pivotal movements of the parts which are movable relative to each other, of which one part is connected through a fixing tab 70 to the spindle 7 and the other of the two relatively movable parts is connected through the fixing points 71 , 72 , 73 to the bearing shell which is formed by the bearing plates 5 , 6 .
  • the gear elements namely the worm wheel 9 and the spindle nut 8
  • the gear elements after their connection with the spindle 7 , they are inserted into the housing shell 40 of the gear housing 4 and are connected to the worm 20 which is attached to the motor shaft 2 .
  • the housing cover 41 After fitting the housing cover 41 onto the housing shell 40 and connecting it to the gear housing 4 the gear mechanism 3 is complete.
  • the bearing plates 5 , 6 are then pushed from both sides via the window shaped through openings 55 , 65 onto the spindle 7 and the side arms 52 , 53 ; 62 , 63 of the bearing plates 5 , 6 are pushed into each other and the concave and convex bearing shell sections 54 , 64 of the bearing plates 5 , 6 bear without play against the concave and convex housing parts 42 , 43 of the gear housing 4 .
  • the one end of the spindle 7 is connected to the fixing tab 70 which is fixed on the first of the two relatively movable parts while the bearing plates 5 , 6 which are connected together to form the bearing shell are connected to the second of the relatively movable parts.
  • the ends of the tab-shaped side arm 52 of the one bearing plate 5 and of the end of the side arm 62 of the other bearing plate 6 defining the window shaped opening 66 project over the relevant connecting arms 51 , 61 of the relevant other bearing plate 5 , 6 and enable a corresponding match to the dimensions of the gear housing 4 in the connecting region so that a play-free connection between the gear mechanism 3 and the bearing shell 5 , 6 is guaranteed.
  • FIGS. 7 to 16 An embodiment for a drive according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 7 to 16 where the bearing shell consists of four bearing plates.
  • FIG. 7 a base plate 800 is shown which has two slit like openings 810 .
  • a side plate 820 with a fixing tab 830 is pushed into one of the two slit like openings 810 of the base plate 800 ; this is shown in detail in FIG. 8 .
  • the side plate 820 furthermore has a further fixing tab 840 which is described further below in connection with the fixing of the side plate 820 on a top plate.
  • a second side plate 850 is pushed by its fixing tab 860 onto the base plate 800 .
  • the width of the slit like openings 810 is slightly larger than the width of the associated fixing tabs 830 and 860 so that the two side plates 820 and 850 have a slight clearance and thus are fixed easily movable on the base plate 800 .
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show how the gear housing 4 already described in further detail above in connection with FIGS. 1 to 6 is inserted with the electric motor 1 into the arrangement which comprises the base plate 800 and the two side plates 820 and 850 .
  • FIG. 10 thereby shows a view from inclined left and
  • FIG. 11 shows a view from inclined right.
  • each of the two side plates 820 and 850 each has a through opening 870 and 880 .
  • Left and right of the through openings 870 and 880 thus on both sides of the through openings 870 and 880 —each of the two side plates 820 and 850 each has two concave and convex bearing shell sections 890 , 900 , 910 and 920 .
  • the through openings 870 and 880 serve for passing through the spindle 7 which is shown in further detail for example in FIG. 1 and which is described above in connection with FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 12 a top plate 930 is shown which has a recess 940 along the edge.
  • the edge recess 940 serves—as described in detail further down in connection with FIGS. 13 to 16 —to receive the further fixing tab 840 of the one side plate 820 .
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 show the finished assembled drive after the gear housing 4 has been inserted between the two side plates 820 and 850 .
  • the concave and convex bearing shell sections 890 , 900 , 910 and 920 bear 30 without clearance against the gear housing 4 which has a concave shape in the fixing area.
  • FIG. 13 it can further be seen how the top plate 930 is fixed on the two side plates 820 and 850 . Also seen is the further fixing tab 840 of the one side plate 820 which engages in the recess 940 along the edge of the top plate 930 .
  • the top plate 930 rests on the second side plate 850 .
  • FIG. 14 shows the assembled drive from the back. It is possible to see the electric motor 1 and the base plate 800 as well as the slit like openings 810 into which the fixing tab 830 of the one side plate 820 as well as the fixing tab 860 of the second side plate 850 engage. Furthermore it is possible to see how the further fixing tab 840 of the one side plate 820 engages in the edge recess 940 of the top plate 930 .
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 show in detail how the four bearing plates 800 , 820 , 850 and 930 are connected and fixed together after the gear housing 4 has been inserted into the bearing shell 960 which is formed by these bearing plates.
  • the connecting regions between the bearing plates 800 , 820 , 850 and 930 there are grooved zones or grooves which carry the reference numerals 970 , 980 , 990 and 1000 in FIG. 15 .
  • the four bearing plates are thereby welded together in these grooved zones 970 , 980 , 990 and 1000 , thus through “grooved seam welding”.
  • Grooved seam welding has the advantage over welding along the butt joints between adjoining connecting parts that no full penetrating welding passes through the seam point.
  • FIG. 15 also contains arrows 1010 , 1020 , 1030 and 1040 which are to represent the welding direction of a welding laser beam. It can be seen that the welding direction of the laser beam stands at an angle of about 45° to the bearing plates which are to be connected together. A particularly solid welding seam is formed by an angle of about 45°. The welding seams thus formed carry the reference numerals 1050 , 1060 , 1070 and 1080 in FIG. 15 .
  • FIG. 16 the connection between the second side plate 850 and the top plate 930 is shown once more in detail.
  • the groove 980 is shown into which the laser beam 1090 is directed.
  • the laser beam 1090 thereby has an angle of about 45° to the second side plate 850 as well as an angle of about 45° to the top plate. “Full penetrating welding” can thus not occur.
